Whether you want to believe it or not demons and ghost are real. A lot of times non-believers will never be faced with seeing the spirit realm because they (demons) would rather you not believe so you don't believe in life after death or God, so your soul might be eternally lost.

These spirits, good and bad, have influence in this world and people.

You don't see air but you know it's there.
We can feel air, we can measure air (wind speed), we know what it is made up of, the same cannot be said for "ghosts".

Please realize - humans are delusional animals. For 8 hours a night we think we are different people in different places. It makes more sense that a person hallucinates for a moment than it is that ghosts exists and yet we have zero evidence despite the fact that almost every human on the planet carries around a cell phone that can at least take photos, most videos. Without evidence there is no reason to believe otherwise.

Like this:

Children possessed by 200 demons 'levitated' and walked backwards over walls in front of hospital staff | Mail Online

Boy observed walking backwards up a wall verified by two hospital staff. I guess they both decided to put their jobs on the line by making up this story, or both hallucinated it at the same time.

Warning not to mess with the occult, even its "family friendly" versions like ouija boards and tarot cards.
There are 200 demons in that house and all they could get is one very pixelated picture of some white vaguely humanoid shape in the window.

Yeah. I thought that was pretty lame as well.

The incident in the hospital is the strange stuff.

I absolutely believe in ghosts. Does that make me believe this guy? Not necessarily. Question everything.

*Raises my hand* as an X-files fan. I heard on NPR that they just had their 20th anniversary at the end of last year since the first airing of the show. My husband and I are currently rewatching all the episodes because we've never seen all of them. It's one of our bonding time things I look forward to.

In the case of the paranormal it's common that skeptics won't believe until it happens to them, and then they demand proof but still won't believe until there is even further scientific research and proof. There is loads of documented proof but you can't make the unwillingly blind see and it's no fun to try either as they're rather obstinate.

Shows like Ghost Hunter's do appease those demands however. I always wondered why the guys from Ghost Hunter's in Rhode Island didn't go up to NYC for a case. They were professional, skeptical and seeking proof of a haunting and debunking it when it wasn't the case. They'd travel all over the region and even did an International spin off but not NYC or the great Pyramids of Giza.

They did do one episode at Lizzie Borden's house and another episode at The Stanley Hotel in Colorado which was used for filming Steve King's "The Shining". They also did a couple plantations in the south, a few churches, several prisons, but my favorite was the episode where they went into Light Houses. In later seasons they had two light house episodes in different States with some convincing proof of apparitions and chairs moving on camera.

If you want to get freaked out in a "Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark" around a camp fire kind of way then watch the show Paranormal Witness at night alone in your home when everything is quiet. *If it ever gets quiet where you are in the city.* It's complete fiction but the idea that it could be real always messes with me and some episodes leave me on edge for days. I've really got to stop watching the show alone in the dark. If you can't take it turn the lights on or watch it with someone else if they like that stuff and can take it. It may be more fun that way.

I will see this movie just because it looks interesting and I am a horror fan. Bear in mind movies "based" on real experiences are often exaggerated at best. New advertisements for the film are showing amateur video of a "possessed" woman who may very well have taken bath salts or salvia divinorum or similar. We can't prove or disprove it.

If you are christian or jewish or muslim, or any religion that believe in higher beings and souls, and an afterlife, dont you have to believe in ghosts, ghouls and demons?

I mean Lucifer according to the Judeo based religions does in fact exist. If he exists, then what are the chances his minions exist as well?

Now you can either enter heaven or hell, but logically, you simply must assume that if an opening exists for you to go to such places, then something from the other side can get back through the other way.

Think about this. Even check valves in real life can be broken. Locks can be picked, windows can be broken. If humans can do all these things, why cant demons from hell figure out how to escape and come back to earth and haunt us?

I won't be seeing the movie, I don't believe in that junk (and it scares me that anyone would), but it brings to mind, if I remember correctly, a "prank" where someone set up something in restaurants to make it look like something paranormal was happened. It scared the bejesus out of people, and I thought it was a contemptible thing to do.
